A 45-year-old woman was hospitalized Sunday with major injuries after being hit by a suspected drunken driver while crossing the street in Lennox, police said.

The woman, who was not identified by police, was walking east in the crosswalk at Hawthorne and Lennox boulevards when the 2006 Nissan Altima hit her at about 1:45 a.m. Sunday, according to the California Highway Patrol.

She was taken by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center with head injuries and internal trauma. Her condition was unknown, but police said she suffered significant injuries.

The driver of the car, a 34-year-old Inglewood woman, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of felony drunk driving.

The driver was traveling about 35 miles an hour, and, when police arrived, “displayed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication,” said CHP Officer David Porter.

She was booked at the Los Angeles County sheriff’s stations in Lennox shortly after the incident.
